Abstract: Previous studies favorably compare organic with conventional production techniques, but do not consider climatic impacts on organic crop response. Organic vegetable production is analyzed under rigorous climatic conditions in Florida. Unit production cost was reduced by organic methods in only one of seven crops. Labor-intensive organic production is commercially infeasible in the study area.
